FAQ

Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that can be used for close-range information transmission from one digital device to another.

When connecting Bluetooth devices for the first time, you have to allow them to recognize each other. This is called pairing.

Here is the basic process for pairing your devices to enable a Bluetooth connection.

Note: This may vary depending on the product, so we recommend referring to the operating manual for yours.

Set the Bluetooth output device (i.e. your speaker, headphones, car, watch, or other audio device) to pairing mode. Tip: Most output devices have a Bluetooth button to press. For some, such as Bluetooth speakers, you only need to turn the device on. For specific instructions, refer to the manual supplied with your product.

Make sure there’s no obstacle in the way of the Bluetooth communication. If a device is in a case, you may need to remove it.

Make sure both devices have sufficient charge or power.

If your devices are close to other Bluetooth devices, turn off the Bluetooth function of the other Bluetooth devices.Note: Bluetooth audio devices can’t connect to multiple source devices at a time. Be sure to disconnect any current connections to use it with another device.

If you’re using headphones set with a noise canceling function, turn the noise canceling function off.

Didn't work?

Depending on your output device, you may need to select it as the default for the device you’re playing from, or configure the connection to allow media sharing. Try looking for those options in the Bluetooth settings for the device you’re playing from (i.e. your phone, tablet, or computer).

If the problem persists, you may need to perform further troubleshooting on your device. Check out the support site of your product for help.
